Review on Lint-Free Swabs For Cleanroom And PCB Board Cleaning (200Pcs, 3.2Mm Head Width, Spear Shape Pointed Tips, Blue) - Multi-Purpose Microfiber Swabs For Inkjet Printers And More - AAwipes by Doug Twilights

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice for detailed cleaning jobs

These AAwipes cleaning swabs are a useful product where cleaning of delicate items with fine detail is needed. They are about the same length as a standard cleaning swab (Q-Tip), but have a much finer tip. Additionally, the tip is made of a tighter-knit material than a Q-Tip, so it shouldn't ever release fibers like Q-Tips can.They can be used for cleaning small orifices in various types of objects: such as intake screens for small pumps, as well as edge cleaning items such as the outer edges of optical lenses where they meet their mounting surface, etc.I actually bought them specifically to clean the lens on my laser engraving machine, but there are LOADS of possible applications for an item like this. Speaking of application, what about instead of cleaning, the swabs were used to apply paint to fine areas, or small amounts of oil to tiny bearings and the like? The possibilities are nearly endless!I think that it may even be possible to clean and reuse these swabs in certain cases. The tip material seems to be strongly attached to the shaft. Definitely worth the price!

Pros
  • The swabs are lightweight and easy to store or take on-the-go
Cons
  • May not be compatible with cleaning equipment featuring automated swabbing functions
